SpanishEnglishTimba.com Awards -- Timbapedia -- Premios Timba.com

In 2002, hundreds of timba.com readers from all over the world ranked their 5 top choices in each category. The selection was to be made for the greatest of all time rather than the greatest of the current year. A #1 vote was given 5 points, a #2 vote 4 points, and #3 vote 3 points and so on. This process determined the 5 nominees in each category and another round of voting determined the final winners, again using the ranking system. Michelle White hand-painted the actual awards and has personally given out most of them. Click here for Michelle's account of presenting Charanga Habanera with its healthy share of the awards, complete with a video clip of David Calzado's "acceptance speech".
